It's the last rideOur little game is overIt's the last rideIt's time to take you homeAnd we can't cry 'cause we seen it comingNo use running, take it slower

It's a dangerous driveI'm afraid to arriveBut I strive to surviveMore a fool than aliveI thought I knew just everythingI had it made and I could coastBut I turned away love when I needed it most

It's the last rideMy little game is overIt's the last rideIt's time to take me homeAnd I can't cry 'cause I seen it comingNo use running, take it slower

And the road rolls aroundAnd turns through the townThe depression drips downAnd glazes the groundHorizons east and skylines westThe moon, the sun, and all the restThe loving son, the faithful wifeThe burnt out wreck of a poor man's lifeThe father, son, and holy ghostThey all turned away love when they needed it most

It's the last rideTheir little game is overIt's the last rideIt's time to take them homeAnd they can't cry 'cause they seen it comingNo use running, take it slower
